👍 A nice place ⛰️䑓 especially for "Newcomers" to get a first overview of Hermanus, the Fernkloof Mountains and Walker Bay. Unfortunately I didn`t have clear skies on this day in October 2020. By the way you will get moreover some historical informations and have a look at the graves of Sir William Ho... People often mention Hermanus, view, walk,

By the way you will get moreover some historical informations and have a look at the graves of Sir William Hoy and his wife. (Further infos will you get i.a. by the Hermanus History Society) . Moreover a small map for better orientation.

    Went to Hoy's Koppie on our Hermanus trip. It was absolute delight!!! Not such a long walk, and fairly easy. Nice stairs and boardwalks. The view from the top just finished off the small walk in such a beautiful way. I would suggest going on this walk before exploring Hermanus, as it would give more of a clearer picture where all the shops and restaurants are. We went in the early afternoon which was not too hot and before the evening chill came out. Preferably wear comfortable walking shoes, bring binoculars, water and of course a phone to take pictures. We hoped to see some whales, but to no avail. Good luck to all the whale watchers. Take care:)

    It's a lovely little path up to view almost all of the greater Hermanus from a great vantage point. There are a feww steps which will negatively impact wheelchair users, but there's great access to the cave and the area has daily patrols from security guards on site so it's safe. Lots of spots for that perfect selfie and overlooking the ocean and village. Well worth a visit and also free parking

    A very easy walk up the stairs to the graves of Mr and Mrs Hoy at the top. Stunning views.

    There is a few paths to take. Such a great walk up Hoy's Koppie. The view is incredible from the top with the grave stones of Mr and Mrs Hoy. Definitely something to do when you visit Hermanus.

    What a great little adventure. Stairs (and wheelchair accessible path) are beautifully kept. Great view of Hermanus, with minimal effort. A quick must-do!!

    An easy climb with stairs. There are security guards patrolling the walk ways. You get a full 360 degree view of Hermanus. A must when you're in the town!

    Most amazing view. Be sure to wear a hat and sun screen, LOTS of steps, but worth it when you get to the top!

    Beautiful place in the centre of town to go for a stroll, train on the stairs or just get a view of the town.
